excellent.
Now if you could add the manufacturer and model info directly before or after the word laptop, that would be a big help.
Check the manual that came with your laptop. There will be directions there as to how to remove and reinsert your battery.
i think its beginning to charge bc when i unplugged it didnt shut.. however i still need a driver to see battery life
all i have ever needed is the driver to re install the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery option under batteries in device manager..
Did you
Shutdown.
Remove power.
Remove battery.
Reinstall battery.
Reconnect battery, making sure that all connections are good.
Restore power.
Turn computer on.
yes... as I said earlier I deleted the t ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery option under batteries in device manager while in safe mode and cannot retrieve it.. i also do not see the ACPI compliant driver
ignore the T before ACPI
Question 1: Is the battery now charging? and if no, what messages are shown.
Question 2: Do you now see the battery icon?
i believe its charging yes, however i cannot see the icon because the ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery and other one mentioned above are not visible in the device manager. it didnt die as soon as i pulled out the charger so im assuming its gaining power
Excellent.
With SIW (link in my sig) you can see info about your battery.
What do you see if you--
WIN + X key combo | battery status section
Now restore your computer back to a poinnt in time before this problem occurred.
WIN | type SYSTEM RESTORE | NEXT button | pick a restore point before the problem occurred.
Notice that there is a Scan for affected programs which will give you a heads-up as to programs which you may need to reinstall.
